Highly Efficient and Stable White Light‐Emitting Diodes Using Perovskite Quantum Dot Paper

Abstract

Perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are a competitive candidate for next‐generation display technologies as a result of their superior photoluminescence, narrow emission, high quantum yield, and color tunability. However, due to poor thermal resistance and instability under high energy radiation, most PQD‐based white light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) show only modest luminous efficiency of ≈50 lm W ⁻¹ and a short lifetime of <100 h. In this study, by incorporating cellulose nanocrystals, a new type of QD film is fabricated: CH ₃NH ₃PbBr ₃ PQD paper that features 91% optical absorption, intense green light emission (518 nm), and excellent stability attributed to the complexation effect between the nanocellulose and PQDs. The PQD paper is combined with red K ₂SiF ₆:Mn4 ⁺ phosphor and blue GaN LED chips to fabricate a high‐performance white LED demonstrating ultrahigh luminous efficiency (124 lm W ⁻¹), wide color gamut (123% of National Television System Committee), and long operation lifetime (240 h), which paves the way for advanced lighting technology.

Abstract

Perovskite quantum dot paper, a new type of perovskite quantum dot film, is demonstrated. Using a simple, fast, scalable, and inexpensive paper fabrication process, the resulting perovskite quantum dot paper is uniform, of high quality, and very stable; it is able to bear high energy radiation and greatly improve the efficiency of perovskite quantum dot–based white light‐emitting diodes.
